“…[ Table 5 near here] Hypothesis 1 which proposed a direct positive relationship between perceived benefits and ORS was supported by Gursoy and Kendall's (2006) study as well as in the SHC and MHC contexts. These results confirm those of several studies that found perceived benefits to be among the strongest determinants of residents' support for mega-events and other tourism related development (Gursoy & Rutheford, 2004;Nunkoo & Gursoy, 2017;Nunkoo & Ramkissoon, 2011a, 2011b. The findings also confirm the postulates of the SET, suggesting that individuals are likely to engage in an exchange (i.e.…”

“…While the significant inverse relationship noted in the SHC is consistent with the postulate of SET and a number of empirical findings (e.g. Nunkoo & Gursoy, 2017;Nunkoo & Ramkissoon, 2011a), the result of the hypothesis in the MHC contradicts the SET. This may be because in a MHC perceived costs may be diffused as residents may develop a "shared-cost" perception and/or perceive less risk (i.e.…”

This study explored the efficacy of an extant resident support model developed by Gursoy and Kendall (2006) in a hypothetical Olympic Single Host-City and Multiple Host-City bid arrangement. Participants were undergraduate students enrolled in two Ontario universities and randomly assigned into one of two hypothetical 2028 Summer Olympic Games bid arrangements: (1) SHC-Toronto, and (2) MHC-Toronto and Montreal. Results revealed the extant model did not perform well in the MHC bid arrangement. Findings suggest the relative importance of perceived benefits and costs in garnering support from residents may differ between SHC and MHC bid arrangements. Implications for the design and exploration of MHC resident support models for the Olympic Games are discussed. This is the first study to explore resident support in a MHC bid context. The study sets the scene for research following this new IOC development and informs future studies on this important topic.

“…Understanding the local community perspective in the planning phase of development projects has been shown to significantly minimise negative impacts, maximise positive impacts and leads to greater support for those projects (Nunkoo & Gursoy, 2017;Stylidis et al, 2017;Stylidis, 2018). One way to assess the nature and degree of the costs and benefits is to seek the perspective of local residents in these remote communities.…”

Regional and remote tourism in Australia is characterised by micro-, smalland medium-sized businesses, spatially dispersed and fragmented. Characteristics which present unique challenges for these communities attempting to develop tourism as a way of diversifying their economy. This study explored the views and experiences from residents and businesses in six remote local government areas in South Western Queensland to identify the barriers and enablers for remote communities to using tourism as a driver of economic and social-cultural growth. We found a lack of understanding of the structure and behaviour of the tourism industry; a lack of business acumen; a lack of financial and human resources; and a reluctance to collaborate by tourism businesses to be barriers to tourism-led economic growth. Enablers to tourism led growth included: local government support for tourism development; a sound understanding of the mechanics and structure of the tourism industry; and the capacity to engage in marketing that captured and narrated the visitor experience in digital channels.

“…Uma forma homogênea, rígida e padronizada, similar ao sistema fordista de manufatura (Nunkoo;Gursoy, 2017). A rápida e abundante geração de receitas e postos de trabalho torna-se mais relevante, porém "não há dúvidas de que a forma como o turismo utiliza o meio ambiente hoje terá consequências para o seu uso -e talvez até para sua viabilidade -no futuro" (Lickorish e Jenkins, 2000, p. 116).…”

Resumo: O turismo de aventura, visto como forma de turismo alternativo, deve seguir os princípios da sustentabilidade. A pesquisa foi realizada em Três Coroas, destino de turismo de aventura, caracterizado principalmente pelo rafting. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a sustentabilidade das atividades do turismo de aventura em Três Coroas utilizando critérios do Adventure tourism development index (ATDI). Para realização do estudo, utilizou-se de pesquisa de abordagem descritiva, de caráter qualitativo e quantitativo. Os dados da pesquisa foram coletados por meio de entrevistas, observação participante e pesquisas bibliográficas e utilizados para a avaliação e classificação do turismo de aventura do município, de acordo com os critérios do ATDI. Foi avaliada como positiva a relação entre o poder público e os empresários, os quais colocam o turismo como fator estratégico para o desenvolvimento do município, as boas condições da qualidade dos serviços e da infraestrutura. As deficiências foram encontradas na falta de controle sobre a capacidade de carga suportada pelo ambiente, problemas com a poluição do Rio Paranhana e a carência de serviços básicos para a população. A implementação de atividades inovadoras e atração de nichos menores poderiam valorizar o produto turístico sem a necessidade de aumento da demanda e infraestrutura. PalavRas-chave:Turismo; turismo alternativo; turismo de aventura; Três Coroas. abstRact: Adventure tourism, as an alternative form of tourism, should follow the principles of sustainability. This study was conducted in Três Coroas, an adventure tourism destination characterized mainly by whitewater rafting. The aim of this work was to evaluate the sustainability of adventure tourism activities in Três Coroas using the Adventure Tourism Development Index (ATDI) criteria. A descriptive approach was used, with qualitative and quantitative aspects. Survey data were collected through interviews, participant observation, and a literature search. These data were used to evaluate and classify adventure tourism in the municipality according to the ATDI criteria. The relationship between the public authority and entrepreneurs was evaluated as positive in that they consider tourism as a strategic factor for the city's development, and the quality of services and infrastructure. Negative aspects identified were a lack of control in relation to carrying capacity of the environment, problems of pollution of the Paranha River, and a lack of basic services for the population. The implementation of innovative activities, and the attraction of smaller niches, could add value to the tourism product without having to increase the demand and infrastructure.
